Manner of charging students for tuition

· 21 Jumada I 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am starting a business providing tuition to students. Can I charge them per month to be paid at the beginning of the month at a fixed fee, say R100 per lesson for 8 lessons, so R800 for the month. My concern is that they might not attend all the lessons but they have already paid, is this permissible?

Answer

You rather discuss it with them. If they are in agreement then it is alright.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
